PRIA Group released a new feature "Seasonal Returns Charts" that will help provide additional insight into monthly returns of the market.

The Seasonal Return chart (See Image Below) can provide insight if a particular investment such as stocks, bonds, or commodities may turn a profit for a given month (based on historical monthly returns).

The Blue Bars on the chart shows the average return for a given month.

The Orange Line shows the probability of profit, which really means “how often based on historical data did investing at the start of a month show a profit at the end of a month.”
